REFI Dovel Music Scholarship
JFHMS is a proud sponsor of the REFI Dovel Music Scholarship fund. This scholarship was established in memory of the owners of Shen-Valley Band Instrument Service, Gary and Martha Dovel. The Shen Valley Band name has been supporting the Band programs in this area since the early 1950’s; the Dovels were tragically killed in an auto accident in July of 2007.
The Dovel family were also music boosters and booster officers on the eastern end of Rockingham county, supporting their children’s membership in the Spotswood HS music programs. The RCPS music teachers are now working together, to ensure that the Dovel’s contribution to music in Rockingham county schools continues on into the future, through a scholarship established in their memory. Any donation amount is appreciated, and will help us to continue to award this scholarship each Spring, to an RCPS senior who plans to pursue music education in their future.
A donation form can be found by clicking HERE. Please make checks to the REFI Foundation, list “Dovel scholarship” in the memo line, and mail to the Rockingham Educational Foundation, Inc. 100 Mount Clinton Pike, Harrisonburg, VA 22802. Please also remember to designate any REFI donations you might make in the future, to the Dovel Music Scholarship. Thank you for helping us to recognize these wonderful people, who had a part in so many lives within the local music community. Questions?
